my ramblings on life, work & anything left in-between

Patience is a virtue

For about a year I’ve put off replacing my Apple iMac with a Mac Pro until Snow Leopard arrived.

But thats nothing because I’ve been hanging on to my old, tired and very battered Sony Ericsson mobile phone while I’ve been waiting for the iPhone to eventually come to my mobile phone network

Waiting looks to have paid off because the new 27inch iMac with the Nehalem processors certainly look sweet. I even got to play with magic mouse at an Apple store the other day and have to say first impressions were very nice.

About…..

My name is Barry Walsh. I'm a freelance IT consultant from London, UK. [more]

This blog is mostly about Perl programming because this is what I use and love (and occasionally hate!) for the majority of my working (and sometimes non-working) day.

Occasionally I will touch on other subjects like PostgreSQL, Mac OSX, UNIX, Linux, Ruby, jQuery, Javascript, XML and many more techie things that I also play with regularly. Other non techie aspects of my life may slip in now and again but I'll try and keep that to a minimum because its normally boring anyway :)
